<p class="MsoNormal">The Woolgar Lab, at the University of Cambridge’s Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, is looking for a PhD candidate to explore the relationship between Machine Learning and the human brain.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Candidates should be enthusiastic, with a strong academic track record in a maths, computer science or similar STEM-related discipline, to masters level or equivalent. Good maths and programming abilities are essential. Experience in signal
processing, statistics, and machine learning are desirable. Prior knowledge of neuroscience helpful, but not required.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Research will focus on the similarities and differences between current state-of-the-art AI and the human brain (in particular the processing of human speech and language).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For more detail, please contact Dr Alexandra Woolgar (<a href="mailto:alexandra.woolgar@mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk">alexandra.woolgar@mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk</a>) or Dr Andrew Thwaites (<a href="mailto:acgt2@cam.ac.uk">acgt2@cam.ac.uk</a>). Both welcome
enquiries, and encourage interested applicants to reach out for a face-to-face discussion on the research aims of the group; the technologies involved; and the research areas open to the student.<o:p></o:p></p>
